The characterization reveals a complex structure of the deposited layers. The best way to describe the samples is to implement the following model (shown in a figure). The Pt film contains a bottom intermediate layer with constant and relatively high electron density. On top of it, there is a main layer of Pt, where the density is a linear function of the depth. The highest density is at the top and the lowest at the bottom. The topmost layer contains moisture, where Pt bounds carbon and water. Appling this complexity allows fitting XRR data.

X-ray reflectivity (XRR) profiles for Pt film has been obtained using Rigaku XRD SmartLab equipment with standard 2\theta / \omega scans. The voltage and current settings for the Cu X-ray tube were standard 40kV and 30mA. The incident optics contained a IPS (incident parallel slit) adaptor with 5 ° Soller slit. Other slits: IS=0.03mm RS1=0.03mm and RS2=0.075mm. Step size: 0.01 and measurement time - 5s for each point. Fitting procesure was performed using commercial GlobalFit software assuming the model based on Si substrate with native oxide followed by the deposited complex Pt film illustrated on a model figure. The results are summarized in a tables below.
